We have had a few bucks that have dropped early this year. One of the guys at our camp finally shot a 10 point we have been chasing several years on 12/3. He was fully intact when he shot and when he got up to him after a 75 yard run he had dropped both sides. Rut took it’s toll on the old boy, he only weighed 150 dressed which is small for a mature buck here. Not an ounce of fat on him
